St. Peter of Alcantara
Dear Parishioners,
Our new organ will be here soon. Because of new technology,
it will sound even better than the old one. The organ will be
installed within the next two months. It is customary for
parishioners to make a donation towards the cost of a new
organ. It can be a one time gift or you could spread it out over
months or even years. You can choose your intention, and
whenever you hear the organ played it will be a joyful reminder to you of that intention.
This is a great opportunity. I will be making a donation myself in memory of my mother and
father. For any amount over $2,000 we will put up a commemorative plaque, which will be
added to the group of plaques on the back wall of the Church.
Fr. Pat
If you would like to contribute towards our new organ, please accompany your tax deductible
donation with the cut-off section below. Donations may be brought or mailed to the rectory.
We will gratefully send you an acknowledgement in the mail.
Thank you!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please make your check payable to St. Peter of Alcantara Church, with organ on the memo line.
